Cleaning With ADHD Is A Nightmare. Its An Endless Cycle Of Finding A Half-finished Chore And Stopping

cleaning with ADHD is a nightmare. it’s an endless cycle of finding a half-finished chore and stopping the one you were already working on, then remembering that something else needs to be done and getting started on that, then finding half-finished chore and

honestly the top tip i can give to any beginner knitter is to just ignore all the supposed ‘skill levels’ something takes.

sure, you might not want your first project to be complex cables or ornate lace or complicated color work, but if you want to make a thing then make it. use youtube and learn the new stitches. ask your local knitting group for help if you need it.

your knitting ability will increase a lot faster if you ignore what you’re supposed to be doing and start picking patterns by how appealing they are to you.

Please, I implore you, do not be intimidated by sewing. 

If you try to make a thing and it turns out bad then it’s ok, you learned stuff by doing that. I see so many people say they want to sew stuff but are scared of screwing up, but it’s nothing to be afraid of!! Find some cheap thrift store fabric or secondhand clothes to cut up if you’re worried about wasting costly materials, but please just try sewing the things you want to! 

Hyrule Warriors Scarf Pattern

If you saw the Hyrule Warriors trailer and had covetous feelings about Link’s scarf, then this is the knitting pattern for you! See my finished result here.

Materials:

(MC) 4 skeins of sport weight I Love This Yarn in Bright Blue

(CC1) 1 skein of sport weight I Love This Yarn in Red

(CC2) 1 skein of sport weight I Love This Yarn in Sun Yellow

Size US 3 16” circular knitting needles

NOTE: When switching from one color to another, I highly recommend you use the jogless stripe technique. You can find out how to do this in this video.

Pattern:

With CC1, CO 102 stitches. Work in St st for 12 rounds. 

Switch to MC and work St st for 12 rounds. 

Switch to CC1 and work St st for 6 rounds. 

Switch to MC and work St st until scarf is about 69” long (or desired length) from CO edge. 

Switch to CC1 and work 6 rounds of St st. 

Switch to MC and work 12 rounds of St st. 

Switch to CC1 and work 12 rounds of St st. Cast off.

Using both CC1 and CC2, duplicate stitch the Hylian crest pattern onto both ends of the scarf, placing it 6 rounds above each second red stripe. Before stitching a second Hylian crest, make sure that you have flattened the scarf in such a way that you can see the two crests will be aligned. Sew each end of the scarf shut, and add red fringe if desired.

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
